Optimize Swag Bucks: Tips and Tricks on WINNING!
Not sure? Here is some information about it!
As you know I am very excited about swag bucks. I think it is a very easy way to earn FREE Amazon Gift Cards as well as cool prizes like the Kindle and iPod. For those of you who would like to win more swagbucks, here is the information on how to optimize your experience!
Tips:
- Download: Download your toolbar for your browser. This will make it easy to do a quick little search here and there. Also, there is a little spot where you will see a swagcode pop up. They will only be good for a few hours. This way you know as soon as possible.
- Follow: Follow swagbucks on your social networking sites like facebook and twitter. They release more swagbucks on these sight so you have more opportunities to win them.
- Search Limits: There is usually a limit of how many you can win a day 3-4 so do not stress out! Try to spread out your searches. This will increase your chances of winning.
- Goal: Set a goal for this year. Look through the Swag store and make a goal prize. My personal goal is to pay for MOST if not all of my Christmas presents through Amazon gift cards earned through swag bucks (45 Swagbucks = 1 Amazon Gift Card)! Don't worry I will update you about this in December! This will help you to stay motivated!
- Other than Searching: Remember you can win swagbucks for online shopping, watching video ads, completing special offers, recycling cell phones, using a prescription discount card and more!
- Clicking on Ads: Swagbucks makes money off of ads and they are sharing the wealth by passing on prizes and rewards onto you. You may get higher value swagbucks just for clicking on ads.
- Mega Swag Bucks day: You have a better chance of winning higher value swag bucks for doing on line searches on Friday which is Mega Swag bucks day!
- Refer friends and encourage them: When your friends sign up, you earn swag bucks each time they search! If you really believe that this is a great idea, why not share it :)
- 3-6 Quick Swag Bucks:
- Register or Log in (if you have never registered before you win 3 swag bucks)
- Go to the special offers page (left side)
- Go to no obligation offers page and hit skip for every offer. You will get a swag code worth 1 swag buck
- Go back to special offers page
- Scroll down a bit. You will see "Wall 1, Wall 2, Wall 3"
- Click on each wall until you see a video offer. Watch a video and you will receive 1 swag buck. Some of the offers are for free trials which you can always immediately cancel.
3. Home Page: Set swag bucks as your home page and use swag bucks to get to your e-mail or
facebook everyday. That means you have already done a search for the day.
4. Slickdeals thread: Check this thread. They always let you know when a deal is out!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Print your coupons before they reset & BUDGET
At the beginning of each month, the following websites reset their coupons. That means you can go ahead and print the coupons from this month that you will need next month (to the print limit).
SmartSource.com
Plus, it is time to set up your Zero-based budget (then negotiate with your spouse) for February! If you are single, put together your Zero-based budget and get an accountability partner. No excuses!
- What is a zero-based budget? A zero-based budget is one where your total income minus your total expenses equals $0. In other words, it forces you to assign every dollar of income to an expense (or savings) category. As Dave Ramsey puts it, you’ll be “spending your month’s income on paper” before you spend it in real life.
- But my husband handles the finances! My husband had a ton on his plate. I asked him if it would be okay if I, the unorganized spender, could do the budget. With a smile, he said yes. HELP him by helping your family make a budget. Yes, numbers make my head hurt too.
- Isn't the word budget a four letter word? No, I love my budget. I have FREEDOM like you will never believe with a BUDGET!
- Overwhelmed? Sign up for Financial Peace University or buy Dave Ramsey's books

How I Taught My Son to Read, Basically
- ABC Song and Read to him at least 30 minutes a Day: I sang to him the ABC song ALL of the time when he was a baby. We are now teaching him the ABC song in spanish using the same tune. We also tried to read the recommended 30 minutes a day.
- Playtime Letters: My sister-in-law bought him Bath Tub Letters
when he was a baby. He still loves to play with them in the bathtub. At 2 years old, we gave him Alphabet Flash Cards that he would play with ALL of the time. I like them because they are sturdy and not easy to destroy! There are others out there like HERE!
- Dr. Seuss's ABC book: I read to him the book Dr. Seuss's ABC
from 6 months on! He LOVES this book!
- Learning DVDs: A friend of mine suggested I start him on these Leapfrog videos: Letter Factory
, Talking Words Factory
, Code Word Caper
and Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory
. I LOVE these DVDs. He learned so much! (I saw 2 bundles as well Leap Frog Bundle of 6 DVDs plus 26 Flash Cards and Leapfrog Learning DVDs 5-Pack
but I bought the DVDs individually. ) I personally do not like the Your Baby Can Read
because I think it is a little dull and I like phonics personally. Some find that they have great results with that program.
- Sing and Learn EVERYWHERE: In the car, we sing the songs from the Leapfrog DVDs! I also taught him some silly spelling songs that I know, like "it's bananas, b-an-an-as". We just try to have fun with learning! We look at words and letters everywhere we go!
- Fridge Phonics: I also bought him the Fridge Phonics Magnetic Alphabet Set
. He loved to "play" letters ALL of the time. I never forced him to "play letters"! He LOVED it! We bought the Word Whammer Fridge Phonics
but I am not crazy about this product.
- 100 Library books in 100 days: To increase his interest in reading, I started my own campaign called 100 books in 100 days at 2 3/4! We read 100 books in 100 days together in hopes that it would help to increase his desire to read, increase his vocabulary and keep me accountable as a SAHM. I went to my local library and checked out books instead of buying them.
- Games: Once he knew his phonics, we would go to the grocery store together. I would say, "this is a b-b-b-banana. What letter does this start with? " This is a game that you can take with you everywhere. You can say, "we are going to stop at a s-s-s-stop sign. What does stop start with?"
- Bob Books: Right now, we are reading through the Bob books
- Tag Reading System: At night, we let him "read" his books through the Tag Reading System (32 MB)
. He loves the fact that he can "read" by himself!
Some of my favorite websites on Reading are: Starfall and Reading Rockets if you would like to read more! Now back to finding deals :) .....

My Publix Routine with match-ups and links: 1/28-2/3
* For the week of 1/21 go HERE!
- Know your Publix stores coupon policy: If not, call them now! Do they take competitor coupons? If so, do they take drugstores, food lion, walmart and target coupons? Do they double coupons?
- SUPER DEALS: I pick out items with their coupons from the Super Deals. Try to buy enough of the item for 6 weeks or more if they are free.
- DOLLAR DEALS: I pick out items from the Dollar Deals and the other Dollar Deals section section. Again, try to buy enough of the item for 6 weeks or more .
- Weekly Match-ups: Then I go to the Weekly Match-ups and pick out my menu for the week taking my stockpile of frozen meat and goods into consideration as well as get items that are needed around the house. I also stock up 6 weeks worth of items that I can freeze or store since it is never a good idea to pay retail :)
- Competitor coupons and man. coupons: I also check through the Food Lion Printable Coupons, Target Grocery Coupons and other competitors coupons for the items that are not on sale as well as Coupons.com, Red Plum and Smart Source.You can save even if it is not the BEST DEAL. I would only buy enough for 1 week since it is NOT the best deal.
- $5 off: I print my $5 off for every $25 coupon (if accepted). HERE if my store considers CVS/Rite Aid a competitor.
- Rewrite list on envelope: Break them up in separate purchases if using multiple $5 off coupons. Paper clip coupons, place them in my envelope with my grocery list and head to the store. Hand the cashier the coupons in the process of checking out with the $5 off on top. I always hand them my Publix Upromise card to have them scan to save for my kiddos college fund. If you have not signed up for Upromise, do it NOW! Upromise is an EASY program to help save for your children, nephews, nieces and grandchildren's college fund with your simple purchases.
